Put your artistic talents to use in a new direction – create a one-of-a-kind leather handbag. Using basic patterns and/or inventing new shapes, you will learn how to select, cut and assemble pieces from a variety of luxury leathers. Mix and match your personal choice of color, texture, size and embellishments. You will learn methods of hand stitching and assembling your choice of embellishments. You’ll have access to samples and materials for creating tassels, fringe, straps (long or short), snaps and closures. You’ll walk away carrying a unique bag and new skills and ideas.

MISSION: Oregon College of Art and Craft is dedicated to Craft as the creative material practice at the core of art and design. OCAC's mentor-based learning community fosters self-reliant, entrepreneurial, globally conscious, critical and innovative makers.
